DOWN AND DIRTY QUICKIE REVIEW!

One Sentence Summary:

Badass fearsome pirate queen teams up with smitten treasure hunter to go adventuring, slaying zombies and falling in love.

What part made you fangirl squeal:

Any time hero was all “Do whatever you want to me woman, I JUST LOVE YOU AND GIVE NO FUCKS; TAKE ME I’M YOURS” to our gal. Stab him, kiss him, he don’t care; boy just wanna be owned by her!

Favorite Character:

Oh, Yasmeen, for 100000000% sure. Heroine can outwit and out-murder you in a split jiffy.

How smexy was the smex?

Dat! Bath! SCENE! It was erotic as frick. He was putty in her hand and her slave to boot! But admittedly, that’s about it. Otherwise the sex is a bit...fleeting.

Name That Trope:

Seafaring Adventure, Alpha Heroine/Beta Hero, Heroine To The Rescue, Forced Proximity, Fake Married

Whose Line Is It Anyway Fav Quote:
Archimedes: I could kiss you.

Yasmeen: I'll bare my ass for your lips later.

Got any bitching to do?

The world building is mega-intense, so the plot's a lot more externally driven than I prefer. BUT OMG DAT OTP MAKE UP FOR IT!

Visually Depict Yo Book Feels:



Famous last words:

If you wanna see a boy fall THE HARDEST EVER for an asskicking gal, this book has got yo name etched in gold leaf.
